So Many “Targets”; So Little Time
We are two days from being bombarded by governmental and corporate pride celebrations. The government will be flying rainbow flags, even in countries where the LGBTQ+++ movement isn’t welcome. Companies will be twisting like pretzels to demonstrate how woke they are as they redesign their logos in rainbow hues.
Meanwhile the Bud Light boycott shows no sign of letting up. Over the Memorial Day Weekend, Anheuser Busch was virtually trying to give its beer away with rebates that were sometimes greater than the cost of a case of Budweiser or Bud Light.
However, AB Inbev apparently hasn’t learned much from its >$10-billion loss in market cap. Bud Light has been announced as a sponsor of the Cincinnati LGBTQ++ parade along with Planned Parenthood and the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, which promotes gender affirming procedures.
Over the weekend more news about Target’s ties to the LGBTQ++ movement became known.
A Target Corporation senior executive in the marketing department maintains a position with a controversial K-12 advocacy organization called GLSEN – Target’s Pride Month partner – which is focused on integrating gender ideology at all levels of K-12 schools, from curriculum to district policy.
Carlos Saavedra is a vice president of brand marketing at Target and a treasurer at GLSEN. GLSEN focuses on getting districts to adopt policies that will keep parents in the dark on their child’s in-school gender transition, providing sexually explicit books to schools for free, and integrating gender ideology at all levels of curriculum in public schools.
Target and Saavedra did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“GLSEN leads the movement in creating affirming… and anti-racist spaces for LGBTQIA+ students. We are proud of 10+ years of collaboration with GLSEN and continue to support their mission,” Target said. The retail giant provides annual donations to GLSEN, which has amounted to at least $2.1 million.

Speaking of woke corporations, Disney’s politically correct, “modernized” version of the Little Mermaid had a disappointing opening weekend at the box office and the previews for Indiana Jones 5 are downright horrid.

BC, its a target rich environment. According to Human Right Coalition that rates the ESG score there are 840 some companies in compliance. So we need to apply the Pareto Principle and hit the 100%ers first then work our way down.

Had to happen some time —
“Some more math: according to a New York Fed study, the average student loan payment is $393 per month.
For consumers taking advantage of the program, they have deferred 39 months worth of payments, resulting in more than $15,327 in additional discretionary income during the period, much larger than the amount most consumers received from other COVID stimulus programs. ”

drdog, nice monster 5th wheel. Of course, you need a SEMI to tow it, and there are only 1 or 2 parks in the country you can use it at…but damn, it does look good! 🙂
still we love our 5th wheel!
we’re heading back to Texas in it next April for the TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE!!
[18]
as for “Woke” bullshit…BudLite et al
I am sooooooo fed up with that bullshit.
we were golfing near Redding a couple weeks back. And the bar (19th hole) has a sign for almost every major beer you can imagine. And a BLANK SPOT very conspicuous on one wall. Yup…there used to be a “BudLite” sign there.

MPT,
Another win….
Mondello surpasses ButtLight in total sales for last week. ButtLight is now #2.

23,
Personally I think we are already gone. The COVID event shows that you can herd even rational people if you can scare them well enough.
[28]
Nowadays this is me …
[29]
Hmmm …
I was in Costco y’day … no Bud Light for sale.
No Jalisco Estrella either, which I used to buy and is produced by the same company that owns Buttwiper.
[30]
Jim, there was no BudLite in the Costco we went to the other day either.
CostCo ain’t stoooopid…if something doesn’t sell, they don’t stock it.
[31]
Nowadays it’s shocking if a company is NOT stoopid

never mind 🙂
[37]
Jim, calling Biden “decrepit” is the NICEST thing anyone has said about him in a lonnnnng time!!
and remember, Biden is NOT a “Moron”. Here are the official rankings of low intelligence. Calling him a “Moron” would be a compliment!
Idiots. —Those so defective that the mental development never exceeds that or a normal child of about two years.
Imbeciles. —Those whose development is higher than that of an idiot, but whose intelligence does not exceed that of a normal child of about seven years.
Morons. —Those whose mental development is above that of an imbecile, but does not exceed that of a normal child of about twelve years.

June 4th 2018 marks the 14th anniversary of the Killdozer’s rampage through Granby Colorado.
Sit down kids and let me tell you a tale, about a reasonable man driven to do unreasonable things.
Marvin Heemeyer was a man who owned a muffler shop in Granby Colorado. The city council ordained to approve the construction of a concrete factory in the lot across from Marvin’s shop. In the process this blocked the only access road to the muffler shop. Marvin petitioned to stop the construction to no avail. Petitioned to construct a new access road, and even bought the heavy machinery to do so himself. Denied.
The concrete factory went up in disregard to the ramifications on Marvin’s business. To add insult to injury, the factory construction disconnected the muffler shop from the city sewage lines. An indifferent city government then chose to fine Marvin for this.
His businessand livelihood were in ruin. Rather than lie down and die, Marvin chose to fight back. Over the course of a year and a half Marvin secretly outfitted the bulldozer he bought to save his business with three foot thick steel and concrete armor, camera systems guarded with bulletproof glass.
On June 4th 2004 Marvin Heemeyer lowered the armored shell over top of himself, entombing himself inside the Killdozer to make his last stand.
He burst forth from the walls of his muffler shop and straight into the concrete factory that ruined his business. Over the course of the next several hours Marvin drove his Killdozer through 13 buildings owned by those officials that had wronged him, including the city council building itself.
Swat teams swarmed the dozer, but it proved immune to small arms fire and even explosives. Another piece of heavy machinery was even brought out to fight the Killdozer, but it too fell to the dozers righteous fury.
In the end, Marvin’s Killdozer became trapped in one of the buildings it was built to destroy. Marvin chose to take his life, the only life he took that day.
Today we celebrate Killdozer day and Marvin Heemeyer, the last great American folk hero. A man driven to the brink who chose to fight back against an indifferent system.
From notes left behind after his passing: “I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.”
When injustice becomes the law, resistance becomes duty

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Alas Marvin we miss thee.
